Director’s statement
First Love. When does it come? And how we show it in different ways. How young children openly express their affection and are not shy about their feelings. But over the years we lose this ability, or maybe we just have not been taught to. And so, we are hiding true feelings and trying to attract the attention of an interested person in our own way. The main thing is to stop in time and look in a different light; maybe there is more behind it.
